Designers presenting during New York Fashion Week's spring-summer 2027 season moved beyond the traditional tent and into the city's own landmarks and grounds. Collections were staged at Lincoln Center, at the Noguchi Sunken Garden, and as far out as Storm King, each site lending its own light and scale in place of a conventional runway. For one season, the setting carried as much weight as the clothes.
